Denny Hamlin Could Be Factor At Martinsville

Denny Hamlin starts 11th on Sunday in the No. 11 car for Joe Gibbs Racing. The driver has had his unlucky breaks here on the short track but has led 21.5% of the laps in the last six races. Martinsville has been an adventure but Hamlin does have two top-five results. He has good speed […]

Kevin Harvick Turns In Top Seven Qualifying Time Saturday

Kevin Harvick brought up the rear from Stewart-Haas Racing on Saturday in qualifying. Normally, that is bad but his lap still qualified him seventh for the NOCO 400 on Sunday afternoon. Harvick and his teammates seemed to slowly cruise around the 0.526-mile track until qualifying. The strange part is Martinsville is one of those tracks […]

Martin Truex Jr. Still Trying To Find Victory Lane

Martin Truex Jr. and his Joe Gibbs Racing car were incredible in Los Angeles. Since then, it has been a bit of a mixed bag. However, this low downforce packages suits Truex Jr. and his No. 19 Toyota well. When it comes to overall total speed, Truex Jr. came in around the top five from […]

J.J. Spaun May Struggle At RBC Heritage

J.J. Spaun has his moments, but too many times the American golfer cannot get out of his own way. Spaun has missed four cuts and has not had a top-10 finish in stroke play since Hawaii in January. He won the Valero Open and followed it up with a tie for 22nd at the same […]

Adam Hadwin A Bit Up And Down As RBC Heritage Looms

Adam Hadwin has one win on the PGA Tour and only has one top-10 result in 2023 itself. That came at the WM Phoenix Open. The Canadian golfer has missed two cuts in his previous four tournaments too. Also, he has not played since the WGC Match Play a few weeks ago. Maybe the rest […]

Tyrrell Hatton Trying To Get Back To March Form

Tyrrell Hatton looked poised to be a factor at The Masters on Sunday. However, a 76 dropped him just outside the top-30. The English golfer looked great in March with a top-five at the Arnold Palmer then a solo second at The Players one week later. Hatton's key has to be his balance. His strokes […]

Sam Burns Has Some Success At Harbour Town

Sam Burns won the WGC-Dell Match Play a few weeks ago. Only a badly timed third round 78 kept the American golfer from truly contending at The Masters. Still, Burns finished tied for 29th. He ranks ninth in strokes gained from putting at 0.719. His only weakness is approach to the green but that was […]

Sungjae Im Could Be In Contention Again

Sungjae Im had that one stumble in Round 2 of The Masters. The South Korean golfer rebounded with a 67 in Round 3. He kept it even on Sunday to preserve a top-20 result. It may not have been what Im wanted, but that consistency serves him well. Oddly enough, Im has not had a […]

Scottie Scheffler Makes First Appearance At RBC Heritage

Scottie Scheffler is in his fourth year on the PGA Tour but is making his first appearance at the RBC Heritage. The New Jersey native settled for a top-10 result at The Masters last week.

Denny Hamlin Laid Back To Help At Bristol Sunday

Denny Hamlin seemed to have a plan to lay back in the field during his qualifying heat on Saturday. Will that help for Sunday at the Food City Dirt Race? The Bristol track is unforgiving enough. At least conditions will be dry. Last year, the Joe Gibbs Racing driver lost his engine early but the […]

Martin Truex Jr. In Trouble For Bristol Sunday

Martin Truex Jr. and his Joe Gibbs Racing car has not fared well since that win in Los Angeles. Arguably, that has been his only highlight of 2023. His results have not been overtly bad.

Aric Almirola Could Struggle Again At Bristol

Aric Almirola has not adapted well to Bristol in the two incarnations of the dirt race. The Stewart-Haas Racing driver has finished 23rd and 36th respectively.

After losing 60 points for a violation in his No. 48 Hendrick Motorsports car, Alex Bowman starts 17th for the race on Sunday at Bristol.

Todd Gilliland Not In Bad Position For Bristol

Todd Gilliland starts the Food City Dirt Race from the 15th position on Sunday night. Place differential is tough to gauge on dirt tracks and a short track like Bristol. However, last year Gilliland moved up six spots from 23rd to 17th. He did seem to lay back in his Front Row Motorsports Ford during […]

Chase Briscoe A Real Wildcard At Bristol

Chase Briscoe came so close to winning the Food City Dirt Race last year. The Stewart-Haas Racing driver tried to pass Tyler Reddick on the final lap and did not have enough forward speed. The result was Briscoe spinning in tandem with Reddick. Despite leading 59 laps, that dropped the Ford driver all the way […]

Joey Logano Unofficial Favorite For Bristol

Joey Logano and Bristol seem to go well together. The Team Penske driver won the Food City Dirt Race two years ago and wound up third last year. He was not happy in 2022 as Logano did not lead a single lap. Though the No. 22 Ford carried top-five late speed, he simply ran out […]

Bubba Wallace Searching For Result At Bristol

Bubba Wallace had high hopes for 23XI Racing in 2023. So far, the results have been lacking for the No. 23 driver. It has been his teammate, Tyler Reddick, who has stolen the show. Wallace has a fourth at Vegas and three DNF's in seven races. For Bristol, he starts 11th. The last two attempts […]

William Byron Rounds Out Top Ten For Bristol

It has been an eventful week for William Byron. Byron and his team were docked 60 points for a "greenhouse violation".

The Hendrick Motorsports Racing driver has been fast all season, won twice, and might […]

Ryan Blaney Tries For Win At Bristol

Ryan Blaney still has not won a race since 2021. The Team Penske Ford has come close a few times including a fifth and eighth at the Food City Dirt Race. Blaney performed well in his heat but was in the slowest qualifying heat. It will be intriguing to see how his No. 12 Ford […]

Ryan Preece Liked The Setup For Bristol On Saturday

Ryan Preece thrived with the setup on his Stewart-Haas Ford. Preece qualified eighth while finishing near the lead in his heat on Saturday evening. Though he did not lead a single lap of the 15, the No. 41 car showed some solid laps times in the 19.6 and 19.7 second range. With the dirt race […]

Austin Cindric Trying To Improve From Bristol Last Year

Austin Cindric finished 16th at Bristol last year and aims to improve from last year's result. The Team Penske driver begins seventh on Sunday for the Food City Dirt Race.

Tyler Reddick Wants To Finish Off Bristol

Tyler Reddick starts Sunday's Food City Dirt Race from the sixth position. That is fine for Reddick, who was in line to win last year's edition when disaster struck.

Kyle Busch Tries To Repeat Bristol Result Sunday

Kyle Busch won the race last year in a Toyota for Joe Gibbs Racing. Now, Busch has moved over to Chevy. He is in the No. 8 that was occupied by Tyler Reddick. Reddick was fast and primed to win. Can Busch and Richard Childress Racing replicate that late speed? The answer is unknown based […]

Christopher Bell Enjoys Good Result Qualifying Saturday

Austin Dillon Starts Sunday In Second For Bristol

Austin Dillon surprised more than a few people on Saturday by qualifying second for the Food City Dirt Race.

Dillon has […]

Kyle Larson Snags Pole For Bristol Dirt

Kyle Larson was the quickest of the quick on Saturday night getting around 15 laps at Bristol in five minutes and 14 seconds. The Hendrick Motorsports Racing driver may not like the dirt on this track, but he was quite fast. The No. 5 car starts well early, but the question may be that 100 […]
